15 Best Things to Do in Limoges (France)

Fair to say that Limoges has always been good with its hands: First with its luxuriant painted enamels in the middle ages, and then later when the city became one of the world’s porcelain centres.

The Museum of Fine Arts and Adrien Dubouché will bring you face to face with this extraordinary legacy. Limoges’ Quartier du Château has pockets of enchanting history, like the Rue de la Boucherie, where the old butchers’ guild used to be, and Cour du Temple, a pretty renaissance courtyard.

Spend a day in the Episcopal City, lingering in the botanic gardens, looking over the Vienne River, perusing the Museum of Fine Arts and tip-toeing through the silent cathedral.
